Waterbrook Press (A Division of Random House Inc) Rooted
Book SynopsisYou were born to make an impact in this world and you know it. You feel it deep down in your bones. Apathy is your nemesis and your hunger to change the world keeps you up at night. But no matter how deep this hunger growls, we can only make a meaningful impact if we are rooted in Jesus. And here’s the thing: God is not interested in developing your vision first. He is interested in developing you. In Rooted, Banning Liebscher takes us to the life of David to show how God expands our root system in the hidden places before leading us to where we all desire to go, the visible world. It was in a field of prayerful devotion, a season of serving, and a cave of community that God prepared David for his crown, the same way God prepares us. Take a look at your own life. Are you embracing God’s process, the sometimes painstaking and maddening process? When we can release ourselves to God we will find that we can thrive while He develops us, rather than succumb to discouragement. Whatever your age or season of life, it takes immense courage to slow down enough to let God grow a root system in your life so that you can bear fruit that remains. You are where you are because God has planted you there. Discover what it looks like to embrace His process so you can do what He has called you to, change the world.

University of South Carolina Press Jesus and the Politics of Roman Palestine
Book SynopsisIn Jesus and the Politics of Roman Palestine, Richard A. Horsley offers one of the most comprehensive critical analyses of Jesus of Nazareth's mission and how he became a significant historical figure. In his study Horsley brings a fuller historical knowledge of the context and implications of recent research to bear on the investigation of the historical Jesus. Breaking with the standard focus on isolated individual sayings of Jesus, Horsley argues that the sources for Jesus in historical interaction are the Gospels and the speeches of Jesus that they include, read critically in their historical context.This work addresses the standard assumptions that the historical Jesus has been presented primarily as a sage or apocalyptic visionary. In contrast, based on a critical reconsideration of the Gospels and contemporary sources for Roman imperial rule in Judea and Galilee, Horsley argues that Jesus was fully involved in the conflicted politics of ancient Palestine. Learning from anthropological studies of the more subtle forms of peasant politics, Horsley discerns from these sources how Jesus, as a Moses- and Elijah-like prophet, generated a movement of renewal in Israel that was focused on village communities.Following the traditional prophetic pattern, Jesus pronounced God's judgment against the rulers in Jerusalem and their Roman patrons. This confrontation with the Jerusalem rulers and his martyrdom at the hands of the Roman governor, however, became the breakthrough that empowered the rapid expansion of his movement in the immediately ensuing decades. In the broader context of this comprehensive historical construction of Jesus's mission, Horsley also presents a fresh new analysis of Jesus's healings and exorcisms and his conflict with the Pharisees, topics that have been generally neglected in the last several decades.

Innovo Publishing LLC Divine Disciplines: God's Training Ground for
Book SynopsisADVERSITY IS ESSENTIAL FOR EVERY CHRISTIAN There is no development of Christ-likeness in a person's life apart from some degree of suffering and brokenness. Difficulties are necessary occurrences in the growth and development of our Christian lives. Christians are not exempt from experiencing trials, problems, and suffering. God not only allows adversity, but he even brings it upon us, at times. He does not do so because we lack faith or because of our spiritual disobedience, but the Lord also uses adversity to increase our faith. It is God’s training ground for spiritual growth and maturity.Divine Disciplines examines the how and why of God’s discipline. Among the divine disciplines covered in the book are darkness, delay, differences, difficulty, disappointment, disturbance, and drudgery. This book by no means exhausts the various ways by which God disciplines us, but it will be an encouragement and an enlightenment to you as you see some of the experiences of your life through the various divine disciplines.Bobby Mullins, the Author of Divine Disciplines has been in the ministry since 1981 and has served as a senior pastor at churches in Tennessee and Mississippi since 1991. He received a B.S. in education from the University of Tennessee, and Master of Divinity (1990) and Doctor of Ministry (1999) degrees from Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary. Dr. Mullins founded Back to the Basics Ministries in 2009, which features A Fresh Start TV Program that airs several time a week in Memphis and Knoxville, Tennessee. He and his wife, Wanda, were married in 1980 and have three children, a daughter-in-law, two sons-in-law, and three grandchildren.

University of Tennessee Press Hard-Fighting Soldiers: A History of African
Book Synopsis In the first full-length scholarly synthesis of the African American Churches of Christ, Edward J. Robinson provides a comprehensive look at the church’s improbable development against a backdrop of African American oppression. The journey begins with a lesser known preacher, F. F. Carson, in many ways a forerunner in the struggles and triumphs awaiting the preachers and lay people in the congregations to come. Robinson then builds on scholarship treating well-known figures, including Marshall Keeble and G. P. Bowser, to present a wide-ranging history of African American Churches of Christ from their beginnings—when enslaved people embraced the nascent Stone-Campbell Christian Movement even though founder Alexander Campbell himself favored slavery. The author moves on to examine how the churches grew under the leadership of S. R. Cassius, even as Jim Crow restrictions put extreme pressure on organizations of any kind among African Americans. Robinson’s well-researched narrative treats not only the black male leaders of the church, but also women leaders, such as Annie C. Tuggle, as well as notable activities of the church, including music, education, and global evangelism, thus painting a complete picture of African American Churches of Christ. Through scholarship and compelling storytelling, Robinson tells the two-hundred-year tale of how “black believers survived and thrived on the discarded ‘scraps’ of America, forging their own identity, fashioning their own lofty ecclesiology and ‘hard’ theology, and creating their own papers, lectureships, liturgy, and congregations.” A groundbreaking exploration by a seasoned scholar in American religion, Hard-Fighting Soldiers is sure to become the standard text for anyone researching the African American Churches of Christ.

Morgan James Publishing llc When Life Meets the Soul: Everyday Lessons from
Book SynopsisWithin When Life Meets the Soul, Ivan D. Parke challenges believers to dig deeper, asking, “Is spiritual intimacy with God a memory, a reality, or a goal?”The Book of Job chronicles the ruin and recovery of the greatest sufferer before Jesus. To read it only after experiencing a tragedy, however, is itself a tragedy—a decision depriving readers of the essential lessons this Old Testament book teaches. Job’s story addresses more than suffering and teaches more than patience or “rainy” day lessons. Its content encompasses the essence of life, integrating the best of times and the worst of times. When Life Meets the Soul examines the Book of Job in twenty-four responses, addressing the universal question: “How should I live? Parke’s study of Job explains that to live well is to walk with God, whether on mountaintops or through valleys. His spiritual guide is designed for Christians and those seeking to pursue close encounters with God—without hesitation.

Church Publishing Inc The Fractured Kingdom: Uniting Modern
Book SynopsisBestselling biblical historian, Jean-Pierre Isbouts, weaves the origin stories of Christianity and the Lord's Prayer into a reinvigorating and urgent rallying cry for unity in the modern church Modern Christianity is in the midst of a veritable schism along the fault lines of society's culture wars. Only if we understand the origins of this split can we find our way to unity. Though few may realize it today, Jesus’s ministry unfolded in a crisis very similar to the one society is now battling. In fact, were it not for the truly catastrophic conditions in early 1st century Galilee, his reimagining of the three quintessential virtues of the Torah – social justice; compassion toward one another; and an abiding love of God – would have likely failed to attract a wide following. Brilliantly tracing Jesus’s vision for the “Kingdom of God” from its origin up through modern times, Dr. Isbouts leads us to a possible antidote for the fiercely partisan moment in which we find ourselves: the Our Father. Then taking readers on a historically exhilarating tour of the Lord’s Prayer, The Fractured Kingdom shows us why the only doctrine Christians agree on might be our last hope for forging a more equal, compassionate, and loving society. What results is an eminently readable and undeniably essential work that addresses some of the most pressing issues now confronting communities of faith around the world.Trade Review“Dr. Jean-Pierre Isbouts hits the mark beautifully by pointing all of us living in an all-too divided nation to a different and better way forward, a way of love that is grounded in the familiar prayer that Jesus taught us. Readers will find a foundation for healing and wholeness in these pages.” —Michael B. Curry, Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church and author of Love is the Way and The Power of Love"I never cease to be amazed at the extraordinary insights and expansive knowledge of Jean Pierre Isbouts. The Fractured Kingdom speaks to not one generation, but many—past and future—about the perils of religious division. But, instead of leaving us there, Isbouts invites us to grab hold of the promises that an authentic, godly and life-giving faith can offer the great divides of our time. With the craftmanship of a gifted maestro, Isbout’s book is a symphony of possibility that reaches a crescendo of hope." —Russell J. Levenson, Jr. OStJ, Rector, St. Martin’s Episcopal Church, and author of Witness to Dignity: The Life and Faith of George H.W. and Barbara Bush"The one subject Jesus spoke about more than any other was the Kingdom of God. In The Fractured Kingdom, Jean-Pierre Isbouts, using the Lord’s Prayer as a lens, vividly explicates what Jesus meant by God’s Kingdom. I believe this is a book for all of us who call ourselves Christians, regardless of what branch of the Church we call home. Isbouts shows us that what unites us is bigger than what divides us and Jesus needs all of us to be about the work Kingdom building." —Randolph Marshall Hollerith, Dean, Washington National CathedralTable of ContentsGlossaryIntroductionPart I: Rediscovering the Historical Jesus1.

Church Publishing Inc Rage Prayers
Book SynopsisA transformative collection of prayers that shows a pathway to a place where rage and anger are not barriers but bridges to a more profound relationship with God In this groundbreaking collection, priest and social media dynamo, Elizabeth Ashman Riley, carves out a sanctuary where unfiltered human emotions resonate with spiritual contemplation. Along with her extensive and diverse TikTok following, Riley destabilizes conventional norms of religious discourse, beckoning her audience to transcend superficial affirmations and engage profoundly and honestly with a higher power. Thematically organized, each section explores uncharted territories of one's spiritual journey, providing a haven for a comprehensive spectrum of human feelings in conversations with God—who, as Riley explains, is far more compassionate and understanding than often acknowledged. Addressing pressing contemporary issues ranging from racism and healthcare disparities to climate change and daily hurdles, Rage Prayers promotes a spirituality grounded in sincere dialog with a deity open to it all. Riley warmly encourages everyone to approach spirituality with their true selves, nurturing a deep connection that appreciates rather than stifles inherent human complexity. Regardless of one's level of faith, individuals will find a revitalized way to reach out to the divine through rage praying, a technique pioneered by a cleric who wants us all to question, express anger, harbor doubts, yet remain hope-filled in our spiritual endeavors.
